01/ Breaking Moulds
When American design visionary Florence Knoll asked designer Eero Saarinen to create her the world's most comfortable chair, he found inspiration in the comfort of the womb. Wrapping fabric around a perfectly shaped fibreglass shell on tubular legs, he created a streamlined seat as comfortable as an overstuffed chair. Today, the Womb chair is a masterpiece of Modernist design and, more than 70 years since its inception, it remains iconic. The Womb chair is available in three sizes and has an accompanying ottoman.

02/ Transforming Spaces
Lightweight mesh offers comfort and ergonomics, and as it almost recedes into its space it imbues an understated aesthetic, allowing it to take a back seat to any interior style.
A bold frame and form characterise the Uccio chair, a mesh-swathed, multi-use chair ideal for large or small spaces and projects. Beautifully stackable, durable and offering firm support and supreme comfort, its corseted backrest provides subtle detail while its solid steel frame has an anti-corrosion coating, making it a long-lasting piece.

03/ Timeless Charm
Bench seats are an elegant and practical solution for accommodating more guests without overcrowding a table with chairs. The Nymphea Bench by R&Y Augousti is a unique piece that draws inspiration from Art Deco style and the designers' travels.
Combining timeless artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary luxury, it features a rattan finish base or a bronze patina brass base, both with inlaid seats. The Nymphea Bench adds beauty and sophistication, complementing any dining table with its unique design.

04/ Bauhaus Classic
Knoll’s iconic Cesca Chair, designed by legendary architect Marcel Breuer, is informed by the principles of the Bauhaus movement and remains a collectable. Originally known as the B32, it evokes pure simplicity with its linearity, subtle curves, and tubular steel construction. It appears almost to float while offering sublime comfort and a timeless aesthetic. The Cesca is now available in new ultra-matte frame colours of black, white, and archival dark red.

05/ Hanging Around
Swinging seats have it all – comfort, functionality and whimsy. Whether crafted from rattan, leather, rope or canvas, it adds a playful touch to a corner, niche, living space or veranda.
Case in point: Designer Victor Carrasco's Orbitry suspended seat for Paola Lenti. Hand-woven directly onto a stainless steel structure, it features one of two structural weaves: a flat braid in Rope yarn in solid colours, or in two-colour combinations that are enduring and resistant to UV rays. The cushions are loose and water-repellent, so they are easy to maintain whether you hang this beauty inside or out. Most importantly, it’s as comfy as a cocoon. The Orbitry is available in two different sizes and as a two-seater sofa.
